I installed this plugin on WP 3.4. I have one post in my “Posts” area and 1 page in the Pages area. In Settings > Reading, the setting is “Static Page (Front Page)”. After activating the plugin, the main page static content disappears, and I don’t see the expected effect. What might I be doing wrong?

Hi, the theme being used is Magazine Basic, ver 2.7.7 by c.bavota (http://themes.bavotasan.com/). The site is http://yidamwebprojects.com. Unfortunately the site is now live, and because of the page-display problem, am unable to activate the plugin. However, I will be happy to do so for a short period of time, after synchronizing with the time you would like to work on the problem.

It looks like there was a missing function that wasn’t loading that someone else had pointed out. I updated the WordPress repository with the fixed version – check to see if it will work with the latest version of the plugin. If not, just let me know. Thanks!

Heads up – I just installed the plugin on WP 3.4.1, and get “call to undefined function word_trimmer()” error. When I checked the code, this function was indeed not defined anywhere. If I replace it with a built-in wp_trim_excerpt, for example, the plugin works as expected.

Thanks for the heads up Silvia. I just found out that I had two versions of the plugin file and had uploaded the one without that custom function (because I had it in my functions.php file already for a custom theme). I already updated the repository with the fixed one. Thanks a bunch!

I haven’t tested this on multisite, so I’m not sure how it’ll work for that set up.
For CSS, you can customize it using the style.css of your blog but it might be tricky to get it to show a two column display. I’ll try to see if I can make it as an option in later versions.
